>A resumption of the attack in the evening was cancelled and a withdrawal further into the wood saved the infantry from a German bombardment along the edge of the wood. In the early hours of 11 July, the 115th Brigade relieved the attacking brigades and at 3:30 p.m. a position was consolidated 60 yards (55 m) inside the wood but then abandoned due to German artillery-fire. ⇒攻撃は再開したが、夕方には撤回され、歩兵連隊はさらに森林の奥へ退去したので、森の端に沿ったドイツの爆撃から隊は救われた。7月11日の早い時間に、第115旅団が、攻撃旅団を救援した。そして、午後3時30分、森林の60ヤード(55m)の内側が強化されたが、その後のドイツ軍による大砲砲火のために放棄されてしまった。 >The 38th Division was relieved by a brigade of the 12th Division by 9:00 a.m. on 12 July, which searched the wood and completed its occupation, the German defence having lost "countless brave men"; the 38th Division had lost c. 4,000 casualties. The northern fringe was reoccupied and linked with the 7th Division on the right and the 1st Division on the left, under constant bombardment by shrapnel, lachrymatory, high explosive and gas shell, the 62nd Brigade losing 950 men by 16 July. ⇒7月12日の午前9時までに、第12師団所属の1個旅団が第38師団を救援して、森林を踏査して、その占拠を完成させた。ドイツ軍の防御隊は、「無数の勇敢な兵士」を失った。第38師団は、約4,000人の犠牲を蒙った。北部周辺が再度占拠されたので、右翼上で第7師団と、左翼上で第1師団とそれぞれつながった。榴散弾、催涙ガス、高性能爆薬、毒ガス弾による恒常的な砲撃中で、第62旅団は7月16日までに950人の兵士を失った。
